That doesn't mean they don't use a buyers agent.

It may mean that they LOOK and source possible properties on Zillow, Trulia, Realtor dot com and elsewhere. But then, still use an agent to help them thru the process.

I know few people who have the confidence to do it on their own. They just haven't transacted many properties so, haven't built enough of a knowledge base and they also look at it like --- well, the seller pays the agents, so why wouldn't I use one?
